Guest guest Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 My DS Cody (8) has been in speech since he was 6 for this. He has gotten much better with some, but no improvement with others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 1, 2005 Report Share Posted July 1, 2005 Just wondering: Any of you have kids diagnosed with Asperger's who have articulation problems such as the /f/ sound or /th/ sound, etc.?

A suggestion that might be helpful - have the " owner " keep a daily log of how often this happens, when the " hiding " occurs, and how they handle the behavior. Maybe you and the owner can narrow down what may be triggering your son to hide. Our son used to run and hide whenever someone came to over to visit, even if he knew them. He would also hide when he was becoming overwhelmed/over-stimulated (sensory overload). When he was in first grade he used to hide in the coat closet at school or under the table during stressful times.

Guest guest Posted July 1, 2005 Report Share Posted July 1, 2005 My daughters did as younger children and went through speech therapy. At the time, the speech therapist thought it was related to the shape of their mouths. One daughter also had a problem with the letters r, l, and s. Kathy J.

Guest guest Posted July 1, 2005 Report Share Posted July 1, 2005 All my kids (3 sons, one with AS) had articulation problems. I did too as a child. Speech therapy really helps!! > Just wondering: Any of you have kids diagnosed with Asperger's who have articulation problems such as the /f/ sound or /th/ sound, etc.? > > Dennise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 1, 2005 Report Share Posted July 1, 2005 My son had that exact problem. Nothing else. He worked with the speech therapist at school for a year or two and he doesn't have that issue anymore (he's 10 now). One thing he still does is repeat sounds or whole words at the end of a sentence when he speaks. Sort of like an echo (echo, echo, echo). : ) Not every sentence - it's like he's thinking of what to say next so just 'hiccups' until he thinks of the next line. > Hi Dana, welcome! > > A suggestion that might be helpful - have the " owner " > keep a daily log of how often this happens, when the > " hiding " occurs, and how they handle the behavior. > Maybe you and the owner can narrow down what may be > triggering your son to hide.

Guest guest Posted July 1, 2005 Report Share Posted July 1, 2005 My son did that for about five years, he repeated the last sillable or word in a sentence, like making sure he was getting out the correct sounds. Now, he is 9, and he doesn't do it anymore. It went away all by itself, because he has never had speech therapy. I'm also celebrating that today he actually enjoyed playing catch with a pogo ball. I didn't have to pay him! I usually pay him 25 cents for him to play, it motivates him, because he wants to buy a video game. I am really happy he is finally not scared of the ball. > > Hi Dana, welcome! > > > > A suggestion that might be helpful - have the " owner " > > keep a daily log of how often this happens, when the > > " hiding " occurs, and how they handle the behavior. > > Maybe you and the owner can narrow down what may be > > triggering your son to hide.

Reece always had a problem with " th " sounds. I suspect though it was more of an auditory problem because the " cure " took just a few sessions. Once he got it, he managed to over state his " Th " sounds for a looooong time afterwards, driving me a bit nutty with it. But now he does them fine. And I am no longer called, " Mudder. " lol.

My RL friend's son actually adds an " a " sound on the end of all his words. It can be really distracting to listen to him do that. For instance, he will say, " Can you come over to my house-ah? Please-ah? Roxanna ô¿ô Don't take life too seriously; No one gets out alive. __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
